Christina J. Thomas is a native South Carolinian with a passion for Employee Rights. The eldest of three daughters born to a blue-collar family, Mrs. Thomas is deeply connected to the spirit of the American Worker. Her mission as a lawyer is to demand Corporate Accountability and “even the playing field” for hardworking men and women who form the backbone of the American economy.

Mrs. Thomas graduated magna cum laude from the South Carolina Honors College at the University of South Carolina where she received a Baccalaureus Artium et Scientiae Degree for her coursework in Biology, Political Science, French and Spanish. As an undergraduate, Mrs. Thomas studied at Costa Rica’s Institute of Central American Development Studies; served as a Congressional Fellow to South Carolina Representative John Spratt in Washington, D.C.; and participated in Combat Soldier Reintegration Research for the U.S. Army’s Recruiting Command Psychologist at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Mrs. Thomas also conducted an Independent Study on Physical Education Reform in South Carolina’s Public Schools and defended a Honors Senior Thesis applying Dynamic Systems Theory to Healthcare Reform.

After college, Mrs. Thomas taught middle school French in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which inspired her to travel to Honduras, Central America, and then to Malawi, Africa, where she participated in a non-profit effort to educate school children and community leaders on gender equality and the preventability of HIV infection. She then enrolled in the Charleston School of Law, where she graduated cum laude as the Managing Editor for the Charleston Law Review and a recipient of her school’s Giving Back Award for Excellence in Community Service.

Prior to joining Morgan & Morgan’s Employee Rights Group, Mrs. Thomas worked as a Statewide Paralegal for South Carolina Legal Services’ Migrant Farm Worker and Limited English Proficiency Divisions and as an Attorney for an Employment Litigation firm in Fort Lauderdale where she represented both public and private sector employees in a variety of labor disputes. Throughout her career, Mrs. Thomas has represented hundreds of men and women in single-plaintiff and class action cases involving workplace discrimination and harassment, whistleblower retaliation, family medical leave, employee benefits disputes, breach of contract and unpaid minimum wages and overtime. One-hundred percent of Mrs. Thomas’s practice is devoted to protecting the rights of aggrieved employees.

Mrs. Thomas lives with her husband, her three sons, her Great Dane and her Treeing Walker Coonhound. She is proud to offer her professional services in both English and Spanish and is honored to be a member of the Morgan & Morgan team.
